TRADITIONAL FRENCH PISTOLETS - LITTLE ONION AND RYE BREAD ROLLS
These lovely little dinner or breakfast rolls are found everywhere in Belgium, and in most parts of France too. The last time I had them was a cosy Bed and Breakfast in Bruges, where they were served warm with fresh butter and boiled eggs for breakfast. They can vary in what type of flour is used, but they must always have the distinctive split, due to them being cut with the handle of a wooden spoon before baking. They are crusty and yet light inside, and make great sandwiches for picnics or a light lunch. This recipe is the result of numerous trial and error baking sessions, and the pistolets bread rolls are nutty and full of onion flavour. I start these off in the bread machine for ease when I am pushed for time, but they are just as easily made the more traditional way, mixing and proving by hand. NB: As one reviewer found out, baking can be a challenge, and in most cases an exact science. Do try to stick to the recipe as written - you won't be disappointed! Thanks!

Steps:
- To start the dough in the bread machine, add the ingredients in the order posted - except the topping and extra flour for dusting. Put on "dough" setting to mix, prove and rise.
- Pre-heat the oven to 220C/425F/Gas mark 7.
- Once the dough has risen, turn out of the tin on to a floured board and knock back, then knead for a minute or two. Cut into 12 pieces and shape into ovals. Place on well greased and floured baking sheets and cover with oiled cling-film; leave them in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes, or until almost doubled in size.
- Brush the rolls with water and then sprinkle with onion salt or normal salt, before dusting with flour. Using an oiled handle of a wooden spoon, split each roll almost in half lengthways, see photo. Allow to rest for 3 to 5 minutes before baking in pre-heated oven for 15 to 20 minutes. The pistolets should sound hollow when tapped and have a crusty finish. Allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack then serve warm with butter and fillings to taste. These freeze very well.
CHEDDAR AND ONION RYE ROLLS
From the Culinary Institute of America! Here's what they say,"Serve these rolls slightly warmed to bring out the great taste of cheese and onions. Make a double batch of rolls so that you can tuck some away in the freezer. Then you can just grab one or two on your way out the door to enjoy on your drive or at your desk." I hope you enjoy! :) Plan for about 1 hour and 45 minutes rising time.

Steps:
- Place the yeast and water in the bowl of a mixer and stir to completely dissolve. Let the yeast proof until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- Add the bread and rye flours, sugar, molasses, oil, and salt. Mix the ingredients together on low speed using the dough hook just until the dough begins to come together (it will look a little rough), about 4 minutes. Increase the speed to medium-high and mix until the dough is smooth, 2 more minutes. Add the cheese and onion and continue to mix on medium speed until the cheese and onions are evenly distributed throughout the dough, about 1 minute.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead by hand until the cheese and onions are completely worked into the dough. (The dough will feel rather tight.) Gather it into a smooth ball. Place in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Fold the dough gently over on itself in three or four places, turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface, and cut it into 20 equal pieces. Cover the pieces and let them rest until nice and relaxed, about 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or grease lightly.
- Round each piece of dough into a smooth ball and place in even rows on the prepared baking sheets. Cover and let rise until the dough springs back when lightly touched but does not collapse, 30 minutes.
- Make a small slit down the center of each roll with a very sharp paring knife or a razor blade. Dust the tops of the rolls lightly with rye flour, if desired.
- Bake until the rolls have a golden brown crust and sound hollow when thumped on the bottom, 15-18 minutes. Cool completely on racks before serving. Enjoy!

Walnuts are commonly paired with whole wheat, but something pretty great happens when you team them up with tangy rye and bits of sweet sautéed onion instead. A batch of these is especially tasty alongside a platter of your favorite cheeses.

Steps:
- Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper. 3Cook onion with 1/4 teaspoon salt in oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain onions in a sieve set over a bowl, reserving onions. Stir milk into onion oil in bowl.
- Stir together yeast, warm water, and honey in a large bowl and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. (If mixture doesn't foam, start over with new yeast.)
- Mix flours, pepper, milk mixture, and remaining 2 3/4 teaspoons salt into yeast mixture with a wooden spoon or rubber spatula until a soft dough forms. Turn out dough onto a floured surface and knead, dusting surface and your hands with just enough flour to keep dough from sticking, until dough is elastic and smooth, about 6 minutes.
- Pat dough into a 9-inch square and sprinkle with onions and walnuts. Fold dough over to enclose filling and pinch edges to seal. Knead to distribute onion and nuts throughout dough, dusting with just enough flour to keep dough from sticking, about 2 minutes. (Dough will be lumpy; if any nuts or pieces of onion pop out, just push them back in.)
- Put dough in an oiled large bowl and turn to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel and let dough rise in a draft- free place at warm room temperature until doubled, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Punch down dough (do not knead), then halve. Roll half of dough on a lightly floured surface with lightly floured hands into a 12-inch-long log (keep remaining half covered with plastic wrap). Cut log into 12 equal pieces and roll each into a ball by cupping your hand and pushing dough against work surface as you roll in a circular motion. Arrange rolls 2 inches apart on a baking sheet. Cover rolls with a kitchen towel (not terry cloth). Make more rolls with remaining dough, arranging and covering them on second sheet. Let dough rise in a draft-free place at warm room temperature until doubled, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Preheat oven to 375°F with racks in upper and lower thirds.
- Brush rolls with egg wash and sprinkle with nigella seeds. Bake, switching position of sheets halfway through, until golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Transfer rolls to a rack and cool at least 20 minutes.

QUICK RYE ROLLS
Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F 2. Sift together all the dry ingredients 3. Combine olive oil with milk in a separate bowl 4. Mix together wet and dry ingredients until just combined and knead lightly for about a minute; form into a ball 5. Grease and lightly dust 4 small individual muffin cups or custard molds. Shape up small rolls and put them in the cups 6. Pop in the oven for about 12 minutes until the toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean 7. Take out of the oven and cool down on a rack
Tips:
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh rye flour and active dry yeast are essential for creating the best rye rolls. Make sure to check the expiration dates on both ingredients before using them.
- Activate the Yeast Properly: Follow the instructions on the package of active dry yeast to activate it correctly. This will ensure that the yeast is active and able to leaven the dough.
- Knead the Dough Thoroughly: Kneading the dough for at least 5 minutes will help develop the gluten and create a smooth, elastic dough. This will result in light and fluffy rolls.
- Let the Dough Rise in a Warm Place: The ideal temperature for rising dough is between 75-85°F (24-29°C). A warm, draft-free place, such as a turned-off oven with the light on, is a great spot for the dough to rise.
- Shape the Rolls Evenly: When shaping the rolls, try to make them all the same size and shape. This will ensure that they bake evenly.
- Score the Rolls Before Baking: Scoring the rolls with a sharp knife before baking will help them rise evenly and prevent them from cracking.
- Bake the Rolls Until Golden Brown: The baking time may vary depending on the size of the rolls, but they are generally done when they are golden brown on top.
Conclusion:
With these tips in mind, you can create delicious rye rolls that are perfect for any occasion. Whether you are serving them at a dinner party or enjoying them as a snack, these rolls are sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a tasty and easy-to-make bread recipe, give these rye rolls a try.
